I don't really want to rehash this, but I can easily get my wallet out before my vehicle even comes to a stop and you get out of your vehicle and start to approach.

Rehash? You misunderstood me I think.

Movements are not illegal and likely you may never hear him mention them, but they are clues in the mind of a LEO contemplating / initiating a traffic stop with the realization that "this may be the one". Whan I said"I want ... etc ..." I meant that was what I liked ... it was no requirement I was stating ... no challenge was being issued.

I should clarify - driver's window would of course come down - it has too in order to have the conversation. I was referring to "all windows down".
Cordial is obvious. I won't be rude, but I will not consent to search, nor will I incriminate myself.

When I read the part where you said it'd probably be better if you left it holstered I couldn't help but laugh. I wouldn't make that suggestion to an LEO, but I think it's funny that you did and she was cool with it.

I learned early on to not ask just "Where is it at?" .... but to say something like "Don't reach for it, don't move anything, just first tell me where it's at".

You're braver than I am. If a leo asks me to remove my firearm I'm not gonna argue lol. FYI when you change out the headlight bulbs don't touch the glass part of the bulb. The oil on your skin may cause the bulb to break shortly after installation.(at least that's what I've heard)

I'll never pull my firearm out of its holster. My hand isn't going to my firearm. I'll be happy to get out and have them retrieve it, but not me.
Putting your hand on your gun and drawing in the presence on an LEO doesn't sound smart.
